Avanti Art Deco Espresso

I've got three different sizes and I've given lots as gifts to family and friends. Makes good coffee and they look lovely on stove top and are easy to clean.

What a decades long journey but I am home now. Started with the aluminium stovetop expresso machines moved on to several stovetop designs ,then to electric expresso machines low end ,then to high end,then to an avanti plunger and now to this .It makes the best consistent easy coffee out of all of them.I have the 6 cup version which is pefect for 2 people.

I have always had a stovetop coffee maker of some type adn I can confidently say this is the best one. It has already outlasted most other and shows no signs of wear. Something about the design of this particular one make THE BEST coffee. Rich and strong. I wholeheartedly recommend this machine. I have th 6 cups one and its great.

Not too big, not too small. This is the perfect size for me, I make a pot every morning and have just the right amount for the day including in a cup for a the wife. If makes strong italian style coffee. You can't really make it any weaker as it needs a certain amount to hold the pressure and just becomes bitter if you don't load it fully. Its a really good coffee maker and looks good too.

I am actually sipping on a delicious coffee from this right now as I write. I have had plenty of stovetops over the years but this one is particularly good. It has the two things I always want: 6 cups volume and stainless steel construction. So long s you get the tamping pressure right with the grounds, this is pretty much a failsafe "always good" machine. Happy with it, no complaints at all

I only use stovetops - I have no time for all the silly machine people have these days - this is the best and one of the simplest ways to have beautiful coffee. its very well made, all stainless so it doesn't taint the flavor and simply works well. No complaints at all. Great for espresso!

I got this for christmas 2014 and its still going strong. I use it every morning and its somehow on the original o-ring seal. This impressive! Its stainless steel which is the ONLY way to go with these as it doesn't taint the coffee and they last longer too. I would say I am 100% happy with this. Not a bad word to say. They have pretty much got the design spot on! Oh and the coffee is lovely too!

I really like this. It takes a lot for me to get excited about a coffee pot but this one works particularly well. I have no interest is the whizz bang coffee machines that everybody has now. I appreciate simple things but good quality and that describes this precisely. I use it everyday and I always have good coffee. The seal is still good (its only 6 months old) and being stainless steel, its much better for you than aluminium ( they leech ). I recommend this model - its good!

This is the latest of many espresso makers that I have had - I always have one but I will say that this is amongst the best. I don't know if its the shape of the boiler or the pressure it develops or what exactly but this one makes consistently great coffee. It is still possible to get it wrong though. There is some user error possible. You need to use good beans and get the tamping just right. If you do that you will be rewarded with great coffees from this!

I am delighted with this stovetop coffee maker. It looks lovely but the main point is that it makes absolutely excellent coffee. There is nothing much to these - just three metal parts and a seal but in that simplicity it works very well indeed. The secret with these is to keep the flame down very low!

This is all I need in a coffee maker. It is simple but very effective. I have the six cup one and I have it down to a "T" packing it in the morning. It can make awful coffee, it can make wonderful coffee it's up to you what bean you use and how you pack it. Done right, this can make coffee to give most cafes a run fir their money. I really like this simple device

I get up and make my coffee first thing every morning. This has been the best little stove top I have had in years. I always have one and I used to think th Bialetti were best. If you get the pressure just right when you put the coffee grounds in, you can get the sweetest most delicious results with this. Another bonus is that a year out I am still on the seam seal so that good too. I recommend this model, its good.
